Statement from House Speaker Ryan Fecteau on COVID-19 Vaccine Standing Order

"I applaud Governor Mills and the Maine CDC for taking this important step to give clarity to Maine doctors and pharmacists and ensure all Maine people have continued access to this year’s COVID-19 vaccines," said Speaker Fecteau. "I am glad to know individuals who want a COVID vaccine this year will be able to get one, in line with the guidance of national medical associations and despite federal delays and limitations. I have spoken to numerous Mainers who are deeply concerned about getting the booster shot for themselves or their loved ones who are especially vulnerable to severe and life-threatening symptoms resulting from COVID-19. The Governor’s actions will make a difference and bring peace of mind to a lot of Mainers."
